| <h2 id="mission">Mission</h2> |
| <p> |
| The mission of the openGENESIS Working Group is to provide methods |
| and tools for the assessment of artificial intelligence (AI) used for |
| autonomous driving. AI algorithms should be proved to be safe and |
| roadworthy before deployed to public road. <br /> The working group |
| openGENESIS drives and supports the investigations of a verifiable, |
| understandable and not least certifiable AI. The working group will |
| supply public and regulation authorities with necessary approaches to |
| deal with the challenges of approval and certification of AI. |
| </p> |
| <p>openGENESIS provides a collaboration platform for knowledge |
| exchange among members. The members can cooperate with each other |
| efficiently and provide the results in an open access domain. |
| openGENESIS enables research with direct access to practice and |
| safety relevant challenges.</p> |
| <h2 id="scopeandobjectives">Scope and Objectives</h2> |
| <p>The highly challenging task to enable assessing AI for the safety |
| critical case of autonomous driving will be addressed by global |
| collaboration among industry, research and regulators. To equip this |
| collaboration with the necessary framework, the openGENESIS working |
| group will coordinate and support the activities on the following |
| topics:</p> |
| <ul> |
| <li>Develop necessary methods, tools and metrics for verification and |
| validation of AI</li> |
| <li>Support the evolution of functional safety approaches for AI</li> |
| <li>Establish an open accessible platform for AI training and |
| validation data sets</li> |
| <li>Drive the aspects and discussion of reproducibility and |
| explainability of AI</li> |
| <li>Encourage and support academic research efforts within the scope |
| of openGENESIS</li> |
| <li>Support a global collaboration and drive a common understanding |
| of quality of AI</li> |
| <li>Maintain the scope as well as the objectives of the openGENESIS |
| working group</li> |
| <li>Coordinate the development of related Eclipse Foundation projects |
| towards an openGENESIS objective.</li> |
| <li>Define and manage the specifications for interfaces and functions |
| for the working group.</li> |
| </ul> |

| must be at least a Solutions Member of the Eclipse Foundation.</p> |
| <h3 id="developmentmembers">Development Members</h3> |
| <p>Development Members are organizations that are interested to |
| benefit from the openGENESIS community. They will lead or participate |
| in "openGENESIS Spotlight Projects" ("GSLP") and investigate the |
| technical questions. They will propose and execute the GSLPs |
| according to the processes defined by the openGENESIS working group. |
| Development members will invest efforts to the openGENESIS Spotlight |
| Projects ("GSLP") as defined in the proposal. An openGENESIS WG |
